Digital BW, The Print

Hi Austin,

Agreed. I know that Jerry used the D30/D60 for B&W work and, yes, his images
were/are fantastic! All I said (or meant) was that I personally have not
been successful at converting/printing one of my D30 files that produces a
B&W print that I like. Therefore, I've stuck with good 'ole Tri-X (mostly
LF) and scanning.
